There's an extension that will allow you to do this much easier. It's called "editsender". You can download it at http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/index-en.html#editsender
Once installed, create a new email message, then you can right-click on the "From" account and choose "Edit sender details for this message". Then you can change the Name, email address, and organization from which the email is being sent. I've used it before and sent emails to myself and friends and checked the email source and there was no mention of my actual email address listed in the source. I tested it with various accounts, and it works as long as your smtp server allows relaying. I think it was the smtp servers that didn't allow relaying that didn't allow the emails to go through. But you can play around with it and see if it works for you. - Ricky -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Webmail spin off extension to create fake POP server From: taa <[email protected]> To: Thunderbird Webmail Extension <[email protected]> Date: 01/08/2010 02:40 PM > Hello, > > Since Webmail is already doing part of this, I'm wondering if it could > have an additional capability, or maybe as another extension entirely, > such that it could be used as a fake POP server.
